Never growing up

Moons over my hammies

Ok so I have recently received third hand hamsters, lol. My sister gave me some hamsters that she inherited from someone else, who was going to set them "free" in some wooded area. I don't know how they would have faired. Anyway they were getting to messy for her and she didn't need the extra work, so now they are mine. They are both female and they are dwarf hamsters. They also share a cage and for those of you that have hamsters they are not always the most social of creatures. Me and my sisters had our fair share of hamsters growing up and they always had separate cages. Well anyway my two new nameless hamsters fight and also make lots of squeaking noises. They aren't that vicious though, because I've seen some hamster fights where small patches of hair were missing and there was bloodshed. Anyway I've been meaning to get them separate cages but I haven't made a trip out to a pet store, or wal-mart, or anywhere yet.

Unfortunately I haven't grown that attached to them yet, hence the namelessness. Something that has distanced us is the fact that they aren't used to being held that much. So as I was handling one of them, they bit me. =( And it did hurt, but it was a hamster so not that bad. When i was younger i personally owned 2 hamsters, and my sisters had a couple too, and they were pretty good hamsters, and I was never bit by any of them. Well anyway just with that one occurrence, I am hesitant to "play" with them again. Now I am trying to think of some names for these anti-social hammies . . .
